First time I have said this, this year but this loss is on Stolarz.

He was awful tonight, the 2nd, 4th goals and 5th goals, and I could argue the 3rd goal too, because that wasn't even a real shot but I will let that one slide.

But the 2nd, 4th and 5th goals and all goals he should have had and goals he usually does when he is on.

I'm sure he will get it back but he was awful tonight

Are you younger than 20? Because this is this biggest load of shit I’ve ever seen. It’s not even remotely close to the worst stretch of hockey. The Horachek collapse was easily worse than this. Hell even the collapse the year before was worse.

Horachek was the greatest tank commander I have ever seen in Toronto.

One lottery ball. One. Lottery. Ball.

How’s that a positive ? That sounds so selfish and not from a teams perspective at all

Because in a game where the team struggled as whole he was one of the only players who was remotely a threat?

He had a bad play but that doesn't override everything he did prior. The Leafs could've killed the penalty, they didn't do it, Stolarz could've played the shot better but he didn't

I really didn't wanna go big on the TDL -

Post in thread 'How aggressive should the Leafs be at the deadline? Whimper or All In?'

quite frankly I would treat this as a sunk season -> must have some long term goals

-Do not throw assets or commit to longer contracts.
- wait to see how we perform in the playoffs with the so called Core4 again under a new coach in Berube

*then make plans moving forward. DO NOT COMMIT TO ANYTHING YET!

If now isn't the time wheh the east is weaker then It's been in at least a decade, you are top 5 in the NHL and leading the Atlantic.

If now isn't the time wheh is it?

Wheh is it time to have the gutts to do something

well... we've pretty much done that for a while. we do not really have a #1D man. Our depth isn't as good. we have pending UFAs with high AAV who have time and time again not shown up in the post season when it really matters. On top of that we have goalies who have performed decently but are still unproven in the playoffs.

Eventually one has to take calculated...

So you would take the gutless approach

there is a big difference between so called being "gutless" and "calculated risk"

not doing anything major given past results isn't gutless; doing something major given past results is downright dumb

The Toronto Maple Leafs are not a cup contender so I think that’s the frustrating first and foremost when you see it in action. They’re a pretender that spent their assets as if they were on the cusp.

Performance wise definite pretenders.

Talent wise it is there, but they should've moved off the same player they have X4 in Marner/Tavares/Nylander/Matthews at some point to try something different.

Why can we never outshoot a team, especially by that margin

When was the last time we outshot a team by 10+ shots?

Edit: January 22 vs the Columbus Blue Jackets in a 5-1 loss shots were 29-18

Ya, you're crying like he can't perform better, after one game we've seen the absolute best from a player and he can only get worse so it's a colossal loss of an acquisition.

Just chill and give him more than one game before you've completely written him off like you're saying.

You could also spend less time worrying about other people’s opinions about a 3C.

The 5th goal is going in on anybody. That’s a perfect shot.

I don't know and quite honestly don't particularly care about the shot totals.

They can get outshot every game as long as they win.

Although I suspect they will outshoot Utah

Tough time to take a penalty.

Does anyone else think legitimately, if they were hired as the GM in 2018, the Leafs would've won more playoff rounds?

Because I do.

Shanahan was the artichetect of this entire shitshow, if we bow out early again he needs to go or this entire fanbase needs to walk. 60 years of futility is enough. I remember being so happy when Stavros took over and Ballard was finally gone, yet here we are. Most inept franchise in pro sports for the last 6 decades.

Exactly. We acquire guys and we worry about them not having a practice, what kind of flight they came on, meanwhile Nelson’s skating downtown and ripping shots off the crossbar to open the game. Do we have to make excuses for the new guy?
Click to expand...
No,, but I highly doubt this is the best we are going to see from them. That being said, is this really a winning environment they are walking into? Other than loser Thornton, every other deadline UFA we got has walked as soon as they had the chance (I think anyway). That should speak volumes about that room. I am sure it is a great room. But they all know it is not a winning room.

I digress... these guys both have term, which I like... and if the team wants to keep them, it is probably a must for deadline acquisitions.
